CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

The present application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119 to Japanese Patent Application No. 2018-221597, filed on Nov. 27, 2018. The above application is hereby expressly incorporated by reference, in its entirety, into the present application.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention

The present disclosure relates to a zoom lens and an imaging apparatus.

2. Description of the Related Art

In the related art, as a zoom lens applicable to a digital camera or the like, in order from the object side, a zoom lens having a five-group configuration has been known. The zoom lens consists of a first lens group having a positive refractive power, a second lens group having a negative refractive power, a third lens group having a positive refractive power, a fourth lens group having a negative refractive power, and a fifth lens group having a positive refractive power. For example, JP2017-156426A and JP2017-053889A describe zoom lenses having the above-mentioned configuration.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The zoom lens having the above-mentioned configuration is mostly used for a so-called standard zoom lens that covers a wide-angle range to a standard range or a middle telephoto range. In recent years, there has been an increase in demand for a wide angle of view at the wide-angle end and for the entire optical system to be made more compact while ensuring high optical performance. Further, even in a case where the angle of view at the wide-angle end increases, it is required to have a high zoom ratio in order to ensure a long focal length at the telephoto end.

However, the zoom lenses of Examples 1 and 2 described in JP2017-156426A have a long total optical length at the wide-angle end with respect to the maximum image height. In the zoom lens of Example 3 described in JP2017-156426A, the first lens group has two lenses, and it cannot be said that the angle of view at the wide-angle end is sufficiently wide, and the total optical length at the wide-angle end with respect to the maximum image height is long. In the zoom lenses of Examples 4 to 8 described in JP2017-156426A, the first lens group consists of one lens, and it is difficult to correct spherical aberration and longitudinal chromatic aberration at the telephoto end. Thus, the high zoom ratio is not ensured. Most of the zoom lenses described in JP2017-053889A each have a long back focal length and a long total optical length as a whole.

The present disclosure has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned situations, and it is the object of the present disclosure to provide a zoom lens, which is reduced in size and has favorable optical performance while ensuring a wide angle of view and a high zoom ratio, and an imaging apparatus including the zoom lens.

According to an aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a zoom lens comprising, as lens groups, only five lens groups consisting of, in order from an object side to an image side: a first lens group that has a positive refractive power; a second lens group that has a negative refractive power; a third lens group that has a positive refractive power; a fourth lens group that has a negative refractive power; and a fifth lens group that has a positive refractive power. An aperture stop is disposed between a lens surface closest to the image side in the second lens group and a lens surface closest to the object side in the fourth lens group. During zooming, by changing all distances between lens groups adjacent to each other in a direction of an optical axis, at least the first lens group, the second lens group, the third lens group, and the fourth lens group move along the optical axis. The first lens group consists of, in order from the object side to the image side, a first lens having a negative refractive power, a second lens having a positive refractive power, and a third lens having a positive refractive power. Assuming that a focal length of the first lens group is f1, a focal length of the fifth lens group is f5, a focal length of the fourth lens group is f4, and a refractive index of the second lens at a d line is Nd2, Conditional Expressions (1), (2), and (3) are satisfied, which are represented by 0.4<f1/f5<2  (1), −0.7<f4/f5<−0.1  (2), and 1.6<Nd2<2  (3).

In the zoom lens of the above-mentioned aspect, assuming that a back focal length at an air conversion distance in a state where the object at infinity is in focus at a wide-angle end is BFw, and a sum of a distance on the optical axis from a lens surface closest to the object side to a lens surface closest to the image side and the back focal length at the air conversion distance in the state where the object at infinity is in focus at the wide-angle end is TLw, it is preferable to satisfy Conditional Expression (4) represented by 0.07<BFw/TLw<0.25  (4).

In the zoom lens of the above-mentioned aspect, it is preferable that the entire third lens group or a part of the third lens group moves in a direction intersecting with the optical axis for image blur correction.

In the zoom lens of the above-mentioned aspect, it is preferable that the third lens group consists of, in order from the object side to the image side, a third lens group front group having a positive refractive power and a third lens group rear group having a positive refractive power. In addition, it is preferable that only the third lens group rear group moves in a direction intersecting with the optical axis for image blur correction. In this configuration, it is preferable that the third lens group front group consists of two positive lenses and one negative lens. In this configuration, assuming that a focal length of the third lens group rear group is f3R, a focal length of the third lens group front group is f3F, a lateral magnification of the third lens group rear group in a state where the object at infinity is in focus at a telephoto end is β3Rt, a combined lateral magnification of the fourth lens group and the fifth lens group in the state where the object at infinity is in focus at the telephoto end is β45t, and an Abbe number of the at least one positive lens in the third lens group rear group based on the d line is νd3Rp, it is preferable to satisfy at least one of Conditional Expressions (5), (6), or (7) represented by 0.1<f3R/f3F<0.9  (5), 2<(1−β3Rt)×β45t<5  (6), and 65<νd3Rp<105  (7).

In the zoom lens of the above-mentioned aspect, only the fourth lens group may move along the optical axis during focusing from an object at infinity to a close-range object. In this configuration, assuming that a lateral magnification of the fourth lens group in a state where the object at infinity is in focus at a telephoto end is β4t, and a lateral magnification of the fifth lens group in the state where the object at infinity is in focus at the telephoto end is β5t, it is preferable to satisfy Conditional Expression (8) represented by −7<(1−β4t ²)×β5t ²<−2.6  (8).

In the zoom lens of the above-mentioned aspect, the fourth lens group may consist of one positive lens and one negative lens. In this configuration, assuming that an Abbe number of the negative lens of the fourth lens group based on the d line is νd4n, and an Abbe number of the positive lens of the fourth lens group based on the d line is νd4p, it is preferable to satisfy Conditional Expression (9) represented by 5<νd4n−νd4p<26  (9).

In the zoom lens of the above-mentioned aspect, assuming that a sum of a distance on the optical axis from a lens surface closest to the object side to a lens surface closest to the image side and a back focal length at an air conversion distance in a state where an object at infinity is in focus at a wide-angle end is TLw, and a maximum image height is Y, it is preferable to satisfy Conditional Expression (10) represented by 6<TLw/|Y|<8.6  (10).

In the zoom lens of the above-mentioned aspect, assuming that a distance on the optical axis between the fourth lens group and the fifth lens group in a state where an object at infinity is in focus at a telephoto end is D45t, and a distance on the optical axis between the fourth lens group and the fifth lens group in the state where the object at infinity is in focus at the wide-angle end is D45w, it is preferable to satisfy Conditional Expression (11) represented by 2<D45t/D45w<13  (11).

In the zoom lens of the above-mentioned aspect, assuming that a back focal length at an air conversion distance in a state where an object at infinity is in focus at a wide-angle end is BFw, a focal length of the zoom lens in the state where the object at infinity is in focus at the wide-angle end is fw, and a maximum half angle of view in the state where the object at infinity is in focus at the wide-angle end is ωw, it is preferable to satisfy Conditional Expression (12) represented by 0.5<BFw/(fw×tan|ωw|)<1.6  (12).

In the zoom lens of the above-mentioned aspect, assuming that an average of the refractive index of the second lens at the d line and a refractive index of the third lens at the d line is NdG1p, it is preferable to satisfy Conditional Expression (13) represented by 1.63<NdG1p<1.9  (13).

In the zoom lens of the above-mentioned aspect, assuming that a focal length of the second lens group is f2, and a focal length of the third lens group is f3, it is preferable to satisfy Conditional Expression (14) represented by −1.3<f2/f3<−0.4  (14).

In the zoom lens of the above-mentioned aspect, it is preferable that the fifth lens group consists of two positive lenses and one negative lens.

According to another aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided an imaging apparatus comprising the zoom lens of the above-mentioned aspect.

In the present specification, it should be noted that the terms “consisting of ˜” and “consists of ˜” mean that the lens may include not only the above-mentioned elements but also lenses substantially having no refractive powers, optical elements, which are not lenses, such as a stop, a filter, and a cover glass, and mechanism parts such as a lens flange, a lens barrel, an imaging element, and a camera shaking correction mechanism.

In addition, the term “˜group that has a positive refractive power” in the present specification means that the group has a positive refractive power as a whole. Likewise, the “˜group having a negative refractive power” means that the group has a negative refractive power as a whole. The term “a lens having a positive refractive power” and the term “a positive lens” are synonymous. The term “a lens having a negative refractive power” and the term “negative lens” are synonymous. The “lens group” is not limited to a configuration using a plurality of lenses, but may consist of only one lens.

The “single lens” means one uncemented lens. However, a composite aspheric lens (a lens that consists of a spherical lens and an aspheric layer formed to be bonded to at least one of the object side surface or the image side surface of the spherical lens and that functions as one aspheric lens as a whole) is not regarded as a cemented lens, but is treated as a single lens. The sign of the refractive power and the surface shape of the lens surface of a lens including an aspheric surface are considered in terms of the paraxial region unless otherwise noted.

In this specification, the term “focal length” used in Conditional Expression is a paraxial focal length. The term “back focal length at the air conversion distance” is an air conversion distance on the optical axis from the lens surface closest to the image side to the focal position on the image side. The total optical length is a sum of a back focal length as an air conversion distance and a distance on the optical axis from the lens surface closest to the object side to a lens surface closest to the image side. The values used in Conditional Expressions are values on the d line basis. The partial dispersion ratio θgF between the g line and the F line of a certain lens is defined by θgF=(Ng−NF)/(NF−NC), where Ng, NF, and NC are the refractive indices of the lens at the g line, the F line, and the C line. The “d line”, “C line”, “F line”, and “g line” described in the present specification are emission lines. The wavelength of the d line is 587.56 nm (nanometers) and the wavelength of the C line is 656.27 nm (nanometers), the wavelength of F line is 486.13 nm (nanometers), and the wavelength of g line is 435.84 nm (nanometers).

According to the present disclosure, it is possible to provide a zoom lens, which is reduced in size and has favorable optical performance while ensuring a wide angle of view and a high zoom ratio, and an imaging apparatus including the zoom lens.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Hereinafter, embodiments of the technology of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a lens configuration in each zoom state of a zoom lens according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 12 is a cross-sectional view of a lens configuration and rays in each zoom state of the zoom lens shown in FIG. 1. The examples shown in FIGS. 1 and 12 correspond to the zoom lens of Example 1 to be described later. In FIGS. 1 and 12, the left side is the object side, the right side is the image side, and a state where an object at infinity is in focus is shown. The upper part labeled “WIDE-ANGLE END” indicates the wide-angle end state, the middle part labeled “MIDDLE” indicates the middle focal length state, and the lower part labeled “TELEPHOTO END” indicates the telephoto end state. FIG. 12 shows on-axis rays wa and rays with the maximum angle of view wb and wc as the rays in the wide-angle end state, shows on-axis rays ma and rays with the maximum angle of view mb and mc as the rays in the middle focal length state, and shows an on-axis rays to and rays with the maximum angle of view tb and tc as the rays in the telephoto end state. The rays with the maximum angle of view wb, mb, and tb are rays corresponding to the maximum image height on the negative side, and the rays with the maximum angle of view wc, mc, and tc are rays corresponding to the maximum image height on the positive side. Here, the positive side and negative side of the image height are the upper side and the lower side of the optical axis Z in FIG. 12. Hereinafter, description will be given mainly with reference to FIG. 1.

FIGS. 1 and 12 show an example in which, assuming that a zoom lens is applied to an imaging apparatus, an optical member PP having a parallel plate shape is disposed between the zoom lens and the image plane Sim. The optical member PP is a member assumed to include at various filters, a cover glass, and/or the like. The various filters include, for example, a low pass filter, an infrared cut filter, and a filter that cuts a specific wavelength region. The optical member PP has no refractive power, and the optical member PP may be configured to be omitted.

The zoom lens of the present disclosure comprises, as lens groups, only five lens groups consisting of, in order from an object side to an image side along the optical axis Z: a first lens group G1 that has a positive refractive power; a second lens group G2 that has a negative refractive power; a third lens group G3 that has a positive refractive power; a fourth lens group G4 that has a negative refractive power; and a fifth lens group G5 that has a positive refractive power. In the zoom lens of the present disclosure, an aperture stop St is disposed between a lens surface closest to the image side in the second lens group G2 and a lens surface closest to the object side in the fourth lens group G4. However, the aperture stop St shown in FIG. 1 does not indicate a shape thereof, but indicates a position thereof on the optical axis.

The zoom lens of the present disclosure employs arrangement of positive, negative, positive, and negative refractive powers in order from the object side to the image side. Since the refractive power arrangement of the lens system is symmetric with respect to the third lens group G3, it is possible to satisfactorily correct distortion and lateral chromatic aberration. Thereby, it is possible to ensure a wide angle of view at the wide-angle end.

In the zoom lens of the present disclosure, during zooming, by changing all the distances between lens groups adjacent to each other in a direction of the optical axis, at least the first lens group G1, the second lens group G2, the third lens group G3, and the fourth lens group G4 move along the optical axis Z. In the example shown in FIG. 1, during zooming, the first lens group G1 to the fourth lens group G4 move along the optical axis Z along different loci, and the fifth lens group G5 remains stationary with respect to the image plane Sim. In the upper diagram and the middle diagram in FIG. 1, the schematic movement direction of each lens group during zooming to the long focal length side is indicated by an arrow below each lens group that moves during zooming. A ground symbol is shown below the lens group remaining stationary with respect to the image plane Sim during zooming.

The first lens group G1 consists of, in order from the object side to the image side, three lenses including a first lens L11 having a negative refractive power, a second lens L12 having a positive refractive power, and a third lens L13 having a positive refractive power. Since the first lens group G1 has the above-mentioned three-lens configuration, it becomes easy to satisfactorily correct spherical aberration and longitudinal chromatic aberration at the telephoto end, and field curvature and distortion at the wide-angle end. There is an advantage in achieving an increase in zoom ratio and an increase in angle of view at the wide-angle end. The first lens L11 and the second lens L12 may be cemented with each other. In such a configuration, there is a greater advantage in correcting longitudinal chromatic aberration at the telephoto end.

For example, in the zoom lens of the example shown in FIG. 1, the second lens group G2 consists of four lenses L21 to L24 in order from the object side to the image side, the third lens group G3 consists of four lenses L31 to L34 in order from the object side to the image side, the fourth lens group G4 consists of two lenses L41 and L42 in order from the object side to the image side, and the fifth lens group G5 consists of three lenses L51 to L53 in order from the object side to the image side. However, the number of lenses composing each of the second lens group G2 to the fifth lens group G5 may be different from the example shown in FIG. 1.

The second lens group G2 can be configured to consist of, for example, three negative lenses and one positive lens. In such a configuration, the negative refractive power of the second lens group G2 can be shared by the three negative lenses, and thus, there is an advantage in correcting coma aberration and astigmatism. In addition, the second lens group G2 includes a negative lens and a positive lens, and thus it becomes easy to correct chromatic aberration. More specifically, the second lens group G2 may be configured to consist of a negative lens, a negative lens, a positive lens, and a negative lens in order from the object side to the image side.

The third lens group G3 is preferably configured to have an image blur correction function. It is preferable that the entire third lens group G3 or a part of the third lens group G3 moves in a direction intersecting with the optical axis Z for image blur correction. That is, it is preferable that the entire third lens group G3 or a part of the third lens group G3 moves in a direction intersecting with the optical axis Z during image blur correction. Hereinafter, a lens group that moves during image blur correction will be referred to as a vibration reduction lens group.

In order to reduce the size of the zoom lens having arrangement of positive, negative, positive, and negative refractive powers in order from the object side to the image side, there is an advantage in increasing the positive refractive power of the third lens group G3. In such a configuration, by providing the vibration reduction lens group in the third lens group G3, it becomes easy to ensure the refractive power of the vibration reduction lens group. As a result, it is possible to reduce the amount of movement of the vibration reduction lens group during image blur correction. Further, since the aperture stop St is disposed in the above range, the off-axis ray height in the third lens group G3 becomes low. By providing the vibration reduction lens group in the third lens group G3 having a low off-axis ray height, it is possible to reduce the diameter of the vibration reduction lens group. Thereby, it is possible to reduce the load on the driving system that drives the vibration reduction lens group, and thereby this configuration is able to contribute to reduction in size of the apparatus. In order to reduce the load on the driving system of the vibration reduction lens group, it is preferable that the vibration reduction lens group is only the entire third lens group G3 or only a part of the third lens group G3.

In a case where the vibration reduction lens group is disposed in the third lens group G3, the third lens group G3 consists of a third lens group front group G3F having a positive refractive power and a third lens group rear group G3R having a positive refractive power in order from the object side to the image side. Thus, it is preferable that only the third lens group rear group G3R moves in a direction intersecting with the optical axis Z for image blur correction. With the above-mentioned configuration, the rays converged through the positive refractive power of the third lens group front group G3F can be made incident on the third lens group rear group G3R which is the vibration reduction lens group. Thus, it is possible to keep the diameter of the vibration reduction lens group small.

It should be noted that in the zoom lens having arrangement of positive, negative, positive and negative refractive powers in order from the object side to the image side, the third lens group G3 mainly takes charge of the convergence effect of the whole system. Thus, in order to achieve reduction in size, it is necessary to increase the refractive power of the three lens group G3. In a case where the refractive powers of the third lens group front group G3F and the third lens group rear group G3R are different from each other, it is difficult to ensure the refractive power of the third lens group G3 as a whole. Thus, this configuration is not preferable. Alternatively, the refractive power of the lens group on the image side from the third lens group G3 has to be increased. Thus, it is difficult to satisfactorily correct various aberrations such as spherical aberration. Thus, this configuration is not preferable. From the above situations, it is preferable to make the refractive powers of both the third lens group front group G3F and the third lens group rear group G3R positive.

In a case where the third lens group G3 consists of the above-mentioned third lens group front group G3F and the third lens group rear group G3R and only the third lens group rear group G3R is used as the vibration reduction lens group, it is preferable that the third lens group rear group G3R consists of one positive lens. By composing the third lens group rear group G3R, which is a vibration reduction lens group, of a single lens, the vibration reduction lens group can be reduced in size and weight, and the load on the driving system of the vibration reduction lens group can be reduced. As a result, the actuator can be reduced in size, and thus the entire apparatus can be reduced in size.

It is preferable that the third lens group front group G3F consists of two positive lenses and one negative lens. By forming the third lens group front group G3F configured as described above, it becomes easy to satisfactorily correct spherical aberration and chromatic aberration, even in a case where the refractive power of the third lens group front group G3F is increased for reduction in size, or even in a case where the refractive power of the third lens group front group G3F is increased in order to reduce the ray height of rays incident on the third lens group rear group G3R which is a vibration reduction lens group. Further, by not increasing the number of lenses in the third lens group front group G3F more than that in the above-mentioned configuration, there is an advantage in achieving reduction in size of the whole system.

In the example shown in FIG. 1, the third lens group front group G3F consists of lenses L31 to L33, and the third lens group rear group G3R consists of a lens L34. The vertical double arrow noted above the lens L34 in the lower diagram of FIG. 1 indicates that the lens L34 constitutes a vibration reduction lens group. In the upper and middle diagrams of FIG. 1, the arrows indicating the vibration reduction lens groups are omitted in order to avoid complication of the diagram.

It is preferable that the fourth lens group G4 consists of one positive lens and one negative lens. In such a case, chromatic aberration generated in the fourth lens group G4 can be corrected satisfactorily. In addition, since the fourth lens group G4 consists of only two lenses, there is an advantage in achieving reduction in the size of the whole system. In a case where the fourth lens group G4 consists of only the two lenses, the two lenses may be cemented to each other, and there is a greater advantage in achieving reduction in size in the case of cementing the lenses.

It is preferable that the fourth lens group G4 is configured to perform focusing by moving along the optical axis Z. That is, it is preferable that only the fourth lens group G4 of the five lens groups moves along the optical axis Z during focusing from the object at infinity to the close-range object. Hereinafter, the lens group that moves during focusing is referred to as a focusing lens group. In the example shown in FIG. 1, the fourth lens group G4 moves to the image side during focusing from the object at infinity to the close-range object. The arrow pointing in the right direction noted above the fourth lens group G4 in the lower diagram of FIG. 1 indicates that the fourth lens group G4 is a focusing lens group that moves to the image side during focusing from the object at infinity to the close-range object. In the upper and middle diagrams of FIG. 1, the arrow indicating a focusing lens group is omitted in order to avoid complication of the diagram.

The fourth lens group G4 is a group disposed between two lens groups, such as a third lens group G3 and a fifth lens group G5, having positive refractive powers, and therefore it becomes easy to reduce the outer lens diameter. By forming the fourth lens group G4 as a focusing lens group, it becomes easy to achieve reduction in size and weight of the focusing lens group. As a result, there is an advantage in achieving high-speed autofocusing, and it is possible to reduce the load on the driving system of the focusing lens group.

For example, the fifth lens group G5 can be configured to consist of two positive lenses and one negative lens. In such as case, there is an advantage in satisfactorily correcting lateral chromatic aberration and field curvature. In the above case where the fifth lens group G5 consists of three lenses, the fifth lens group G5 may be configured to consist of, in order from the object side to the image side, a cemented lens, in which a positive lens and a negative lens are cemented in order from the object side, and a single lens which has a positive refractive power.

Alternatively, the fifth lens group G5 can be configured to consist of one positive lens. In such a case, there is an advantage in reduction in size.

The fifth lens group G5 may be configured to remain stationary with respect to the image plane Sim during zooming. By adopting a configuration in which the lens group disposed to be closest to the image side remains stationary during zooming, intrusion of dust and the like can be reduced.

Alternatively, the fifth lens group G5 may be configured to move along the optical axis Z during zooming. In such a case, the degree of freedom of aberration correction increases, and the optical performance can be further improved.

Next, a configuration relating to Conditional Expressions will be described. In the zoom lens of the present disclosure, assuming that a focal length of the first lens group G1 is f1 and a focal length of the fifth lens group G5 is f5, it is preferable to satisfy Conditional Expression (1). By not allowing the result of Conditional Expression (1) to be equal to or less than the lower limit value, the refractive power of the first lens group G1 can be prevented from becoming excessively strong. Thus, in particular, it becomes easy to satisfactorily correct the spherical aberration and the longitudinal chromatic aberration at the telephoto end.

As a result, it is possible to reduce shading. By not allowing the result of Conditional Expression (1) to be equal to or greater than the upper limit value, the refractive power of the first lens group G1 can be prevented from becoming excessively weak.

In Table 1, the sign of the radius of curvature of the surface convex toward the object side is positive and the sign of the radius of curvature of the surface convex toward the image side is negative. Table 1 also shows the optical member PP and the aperture stop St, and in a place of a surface number of a surface corresponding to the aperture stop St, the surface number and a term of (St) are noted. A value at the bottom place of D in Table 1 indicates a distance between the image plane Sim and the surface closest to the image side in the table. In Table 1, the variable surface distances, which are distances variable during zooming, are referenced by the reference signs DD[ ], and are written into places of D, where object side surface numbers of distances are noted in [ ].

Table 2 shows values of the zoom ratio Zr, the focal length f, the F number FNo, the maximum total angle of view 2ω, and the variable surface distance during zooming. (°) in the place of 2ω indicates that the unit thereof is a degree. In Table 2, the values in the wide-angle end state, the middle focal length state, and the telephoto end state are shown in the columns denoted as “Wide-Angle End”, “Middle”, and “Telephoto End”, respectively. The values shown in Tables 1 and 2 are values in the case of using the d line as a reference in a state where the object at infinity is in focus.

In Table 1, the reference sign * is attached to surface numbers of aspheric surfaces, and numerical values of the paraxial radius of curvature are written into the column of the radius of curvature of the aspheric surface. In Table 3, the row of Sn shows surface numbers of the aspheric surfaces, and the rows of KA and Am (m=3, 4, 5, . . . , 10) shows numerical values of the aspheric surface coefficients for each aspheric surface. The “E±n” (n: an integer) in numerical values of the aspheric surface coefficients of Table 3 indicates “×10^(±n)”. KA and Am are the aspheric surface coefficients in the aspheric surface expression represented by the following expression. Zd=C×h ²/{1+(1−KA×C ² ×h ²)^(1/2) }+ΣAm×h ^(m)

Here, Zd is an aspheric surface depth (a length of a perpendicular from a point on an aspheric surface at height h to a plane that is perpendicular to the optical axis and contacts with the vertex of the aspheric surface),

-   -   h is a height (a distance from the optical axis to the lens         surface),     -   C is an inverse of paraxial radius of curvature,     -   KA and Am are aspheric surface coefficients, and     -   Σ in the aspheric surface expression means the sum with respect         to m.

In data of each table, a degree is used as a unit of an angle, and mm (millimeter) is used as a unit of a length, but appropriate different units may be used since the optical system can be used even in a case where the system is enlarged or reduced in proportion. Further, each of the following tables shows numerical values rounded off to predetermined decimal places.

FIGS. 13 and 24 each show aberration diagrams in a state where an object at infinity is brought into focus through the zoom lens of Example 1. FIG. 13 shows aberration diagrams in a state where there is no image blur correction. In FIG. 13, in order from the left side, spherical aberration, astigmatism, distortion, and lateral chromatic aberration are shown. In FIG. 13, the upper part labeled “WIDE-ANGLE END” indicates aberrations in the wide-angle end state, the middle part labeled “MIDDLE” indicates aberrations in the middle focal length state, and the lower part labeled “TELEPHOTO END” indicates aberrations in the telephoto end state. In the spherical aberration diagram, aberrations at the d line, the C line, the F line, and the g line are indicated by the solid line, the long dashed line, the short dashed line, and the chain line, respectively. In the astigmatism diagram, aberration in the sagittal direction at the d line is indicated by the solid line, and aberration in the tangential direction at the d line is indicated by the short dashed line. In the distortion diagram, aberration at the d line is indicated by the solid line. In the lateral chromatic aberration, aberrations at the C line, the F line, and the g line are respectively indicated by the long dashed line, the short dashed line, and the chain line. In the spherical aberration diagram, FNo. indicates an F number. In the other aberration diagrams, ω indicates a half angle of view.

FIG. 24 shows ten lateral aberrations in a case where there is no image blur correction on the left side labeled “NO IMAGE BLUR CORRECTION”, and shows ten lateral aberrations in a case where the vibration reduction lens group is moved in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis Z by an amount corresponding to a ray tilt of −0.3 degrees on the right side labeled “IMAGE BLUR CORRECTION”. In the drawing of “no image blur correction”, the six graphs in the left column show tangential aberrations, and the four graphs in the right column show sagittal aberrations. In addition, in order from the top, the following are shown: an aberration at a position where the image height is 0 at the wide-angle end; aberrations at a position where the image height is 80% of the maximum image height on the negative side at the wide-angle end; aberrations at a position where the image height is 80% of the maximum image height on the positive side at the wide-angle end; an aberration at a position where the image height is 0 at the telephoto end; aberrations at the position where the image height is 80% of the maximum image height on the negative side at the telephoto end; and aberrations at a position where the image height is 80% of the maximum image height on the positive side at the telephoto end. In the drawing, co means a half angle of view, and aberrations at the d line, the C line, the F line, and the g line are indicated by the solid line, the long dashed line, the short dashed line, and the chain line, respectively. The same applies to the drawing “IMAGE BLUR CORRECTION”.

Symbols, meanings, description methods, and illustration methods of the respective data pieces according to Example 1 are the same as those in the following examples unless otherwise noted. Therefore, in the following description, repeated description will be omitted.

Example 10

FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional view showing a configuration of the zoom lens of Example 10. In the zoom lens of Example 10, the fifth lens group G5 consists of one lens L51, and all the lens groups including the fifth lens group G5 move along the optical axis Z by changing all the distances in the direction of the optical axis of lens groups adjacent to each other during zooming. Except for the points described above, the zoom lens has substantially the same configuration as that of the zoom lens of Example 1. Regarding the zoom lens of Example 10, Table 28 shows basic lens data, Table 29 shows specification and variable surface distances, Table 30 shows aspheric surface coefficients, and FIGS. 22 and 33 shows aberration diagrams.
